Cable ports
The Series 2332 access point has two RJ-45 ports.
Ethernet connection to an WSS. The connection can be direct to an WSS or indirect through an intermediate Layer 2 or
Layer 3 network.
The AP receives power and data through the RJ-45 ports. Use a Category 5 (Cat 5) cable with straight-through signaling
and standard RJ-45 connectors to connect an AP to an WSS or other device in the network. The Series 2332 access point
supports 802.3af, and also can receive PoE from Nortel switches and Nortel-approved power injectors.
The two RJ-45 ports support dual-homed configurations for redundancy. An AP uses only one link for booting, configu-
ration, and data transfer. If the link becomes unavailable, the AP can reboot using the other link. The ports are identical
except for logical numbering (1 or 2). You can use either port to connect an AP to an WSS. However, an AP always
attempts to boot on AP port 1 first. Only if the boot attempt on port 1 fails does the AP attempt to boot on port 2. If one
port become s unavailable, the other port can provide full power to the AP.
The Series 2332 access point must be operated with a CAT-5 Ethernet cable installed on each activated Ethernet Port to
ensure compliance with the Class B emissions standards. Failure to comply with this installation requirement may cause
the device to operate in excess of the allowable emissions limits.
Warning!
2332 access point to any other access point through the second RJ-45 port.
Kensington security slot
The WLAN Series 2332 access points have a slot to attach a Kensington security cable. The cable is not included with
the Series 2332 access point.
AP mounting options
You can mount an access point on any of the following types of surfaces:
•
Suspended T-bar ceiling
•
Junction box
•
Solid surface wall or ceiling
Note.
The solid surface mounting option requires Cat-5 cable that does not have strain
relief. The other mounting options can use Cat-5 cable with or without strain relief.
